To greet Elena in the playable roster, you can unlock many cosmetics from the Street Fighter 3 era. The girl should be comfortable around her old friends.

Capcom proclaims May as the month of Elena in Street Fighter 6 (SF6)! The new character joins the game on June 5, and players have enough time to unlock all tiers of the new SF6 Fighting Pass to create a proper setup for the African Capoeira dancer.

What’s the best we can get from the Elena Fighting Pass in SF6? Let’s take a look at the most notable items!

Street Fighter 3 vibes

When the community celebrated Mai Shiranui to SF6, the developers filled her Fighting Pass with pretty awesome FATAL FURY items. What about Elena?

The girl comes from the classic Street Fighter 3 (SF3) series. Elena made it to the newest installment, but other characters remain in the past. The May 2025 Fighting Pass revives some of them — at least in the form of cosmetics for your SF6 avatar.

In addition to these costumes, we’ve got stickers, titles, music, background designs, a new game to play in the gallery, and more. Most of these items are about bringing the SF3 vibes into the modern game. Still, the Fighting Pass has rewards connected to the new version of Elena as well.

The best items in the Elena SF6 Fighting Pass

Most of the items in this and other SF6 Fighting Passes are in the paid tiers. You can purchase them for 250 Fighter Coins, which is $6.99 in one package. If you unlock all the tiers, you get the Fighter Coins back.

To reach new tiers, you need to complete daily and weekly missions. The game is pretty forgiving, as some of the tasks are just entering the Battle Hub or playing an avatar fight. Other missions are pretty challenging, and you have an extra reason to prove your skills. Check out the Rewards section regularly to know what to focus on to unlock SF6 Elena rewards.

The best items you can get from this Fighting Pass are listed here.

1. Avatar costumes: Street Fighter 3 characters

You can turn your SF6 avatar into someone from SF3. The costumes from the Get Ready for Elena Fighting Pass add elements of classic characters.

4. 3rd Strike background and Street Fighter 3 frame

You don’t need to know much about SF3 to appreciate these images. The 3rd Strike background can be used for your SF6 in-game smartphone. The item is free since you just need to unlock tier 17 of the Get Ready for Elena Fighting Pass.

The SF3 frame features the character selection screen from the old game. It’s a reward on Premium tier 7.
